Learn to Code @ MOTAT

The Team from MOTAT - Museum of Transport and Technology

Learn to Code@ MOTAT will be focusing on Python coding this term. If you have learned all you can about Scratch block coding and want to progress onto writing your own code this is a great club for you.
Code Club is a nationwide network of free volunteer-led after-school coding clubs for kiwi kids.
Our coding club, Code@ MOTAT, gives kiwi kids an opportunity to find out how much fun it is to create their own code.

Like all Code Clubs, it’s free to attend and runs once a week after school.

There will be volunteers from the programming industry to provide lots of one-on-one support to help kids through the challenges of learning Python.

Limited to 10 participants only to ensure a good teacher: student ratio.
Appropriate for ages 8+. Some prior coding experience recommended.
Places are limited so register now.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
